Sifted sand

At a construction site, sand used in mortar is sifted through a sieve. In the process, 1/6 of the coarse material does not pass through and is discarded. Determine how many cubic metres must be brought in to obtain two cubic metres of sifted sand.

Final Answer:

V1 =  2.4 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

V2=2 m3  V1V61=V2 V1V61=2  V1V1/6=2  5V1=12  V1=512=2.4  V1=512=2.4=512 m3=2.4 m3
